Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dental implant data processing, and particularly relates to a method and system for automatically adapting and producing digital dental implant bridges and denture prostheses based on CBCT and intraoral scan data. Background Art
[0002] A denture is an artificial tooth that replaces a missing natural tooth and is a prosthesis made after partial or complete loss of the upper and lower teeth. After a tooth is missing, a thing similar to a bridge installed on both sides of the missing tooth is called a dental bridge. A dental bridge can repair the gap formed by one or more missing teeth in the dental arch. A dental bridge consists of the crowns of two or more teeth on both sides of the missing tooth and the artificial tooth located between them. The teeth that play a fixing role are called " abutment teeth", and the artificial tooth is called " pontic". A dental bridge can be made of gold, alloy, porcelain or a combination of these materials, and the required supporting force is provided by natural teeth or implants.
[0003] The existing production process of dental implant bridges and denture prostheses usually relies on the adaptation design after oral model printing, which is time-consuming and has complex procedures. Therefore, the present invention proposes a digital full process, which combines CBCT and intraoral scan data, eliminates the traditional model making link, and realizes a personalized, precise and automated implant restoration method.
[0004] Among them, CBCT (Cone beam CT) is a cone beam projection computerized tomography imaging device. Its principle is that the X-ray generator makes a circular DR (digital projection) around the projection object with a relatively low radiation dose (usually about 10 milliamperes of tube current), and then the data obtained by intersecting the digital projections around the projection object multiple times (usually 180 to 360 times) is reconstructed in the computer to obtain a three-dimensional image.
[0005] Oral scanning is to obtain the overall situation of teeth by using an intraoral scanner after understanding the tooth position through oral examination and radiography during orthodontics. Oral scanning has the functions of comfortable impression taking and real-time effect display. Usually, the oral scanning result is stored as an STL file, and the STL file is used to describe the surface geometry of a three-dimensional object. Summary of the Invention

The specific steps of the method include: Step 1, data acquisition; obtaining the three-dimensional anatomical data of the patient's jawbone and implants by CBCT scanning, and using an intraoral scanner to obtain the intraoral scan data of the patient to generate a three-dimensional STL file.
[0024] The specific steps of data acquisition include: Step 1.1, using an intraoral scanner to obtain the intraoral scan data of the patient to generate a high-precision three-dimensional STL file.
[0025] Step 1.2, automatically repairing the scanning blind area by using a point cloud completion algorithm based on a neural network, a reconstruction algorithm based on surface interpolation or a morphological expansion completion algorithm to improve the integrity of the STL data.
[0026] Specifically, during the intraoral scanning process, data loss may occur due to scanning angle, light occlusion or scanning device limitations, such as, subgingival areas, adjacent tooth occlusion areas, etc. For this reason, the following intelligent algorithms can be used to automatically repair the scanning blind area and improve the integrity of the STL data.
[0027] 1) Point cloud completion algorithm based on neural network (Point Completion Network, PCN): using a deep learning network (such as variational autoencoder VAE) to generate point cloud data of the missing area and infer the blind area structure from the existing data.
[0028] 2) Reconstruction algorithm based on surface interpolation: using NURBS (Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline) or Poisson reconstruction method to fit a reasonable missing part through the surrounding known point cloud data.
[0029] 3) Morphology-based extension and completion method: Using the morphological features of neighboring points, perform completion through regularized interpolation or nearest neighbor point prediction.
[0030] The above intelligent algorithms have their own advantages and disadvantages, and are used in combination in practical applications to give full play to their advantages and improve the integrity and quality of the scanning data of CBCT and oral scanners.

[0046] Step 3.2, Based on a large - scale deep - learning network of training data, construct an automatic generation engine for dental bridge and denture models, and use the Generative Adversarial Network to optimize the morphological details of the restorations to ensure verisimilitude and biomechanical matching.
[0047] The specific steps include: Step 3.2.1, Automatically identify the occlusion relationship and tooth morphology, and generate the optimal occlusal surface and bridge support structure.
